Put it in your calendar WHĀNAU 📅🔥
Pull up, bring your people, get amongst the hīkoi ✊🏽
We move as one.

We’ve seen what m**h can do to our people
the hurt, the loss, the disconnection… and it’s still happening.

But we’ve also seen the strength of our whānau.
Together, we rise. Together, we heal.

M**h is not our story.
WHĀNAU IS. 🖤🤍❤️

We’re reopening our kitchen today 🤍

With a small change, Soup Kitchen is now Wharekai.

The kaupapa stays the same:

good kai, good company, open to our community.

Nothing else has changed just the name.

Aunty Katie’s final kōrero before voting closes.🔊
A reminder to our people love one another, forgive one another and stand together as whānau, hapū and marae. Our strength has always come from us as Māori.🫶🏾

We are proud of you Aunty. A true mana wāhine rangatira who has stood strong through every storm, holding the line for her people when others would have walked away. 💪

No matter the outcome, you are a true pou for Te Rarawa. Mahi rangatira Aunty ⚫️⚪️🔴

Even though voting closes today, whānau stay engaged.🗳️
Go to your marae and hapū hui, ask the questions.⁉️

Whānau need to learn, understand and utilise the Rūnanga.📖

Our Rūnanga should be investing in our mokopuna and our future.✨

That’s the kaupapa Aunty Katie stands for🤝

12/03/2026

Aunty Katie speaking openly about the structure of Te Rūnanga o Te Rarawa and why change is needed.🔊

The current setup has created disconnection between the Rūnanga and its subsidiaries, often operating like separate entities instead of working together for our iwi.🔌

Three years ago she called for a review of the structure so the system works the way it should for the benefit of our people. 🔊

That’s why Aunty Katie needs to be re-elected, so the work she has started can continue.🗳️
